The Kawasaki Museum - Now closed - But the one in Michigan is up and running!

Rick Brett owns enough Kawasakis to open a museum - which is what he’s done! Open a door to one of the complex of outbuildings at the end of his garden and be amazed as you come face to face with one man’s magnificent obsession. The 40-odd year old (and the rest…) founder and head honcho of the Classic Kawasaki Club has finally achieved a long-held ambition to bring together under one roof the 64 machines and mountain of memorabilia he has spent most of his adult life amassing. See the picture to the right to get some idea of the treasure!

It represents more than 20 years of devotion to the marque which began with a second-hand 250cc S1B and remains focused on the infamous three-cylinder two-strokes. Kawasaki introduced their first triple in 1968 and buried the last 12 years later after it had been shot dead by a hit squad from California’s Environmental Protection Agency.

Rick bought his first big triple in 1978. It was a three-year-old red H2C. An S3 he had bought from his brother Dave went in trade but still left him short of the £650 asking price so he borrowed the rest from his mum. She had no idea what an H2C Kawasaki was. Dave kindly put her right when Rick was out buying it. ‘I found out Dave had snitched on me when I turned up on the driveway on the bike. Mum ran out of the house in tears and said “Why didn’t you tell me everyone who buys one of these things gets themselves killed?”’ Rick still owns that machine today and rode it on a 300-mile club run up to the Lake District last year, but it’s not one of the motorcycles he has granted museum status. That honour goes to his top 20. Some of the others are awaiting repair or restoration, many are used for transport, fun and shows and a few have been earmarked for sale.

The latest bikes in the "Brett Collection" are a NEW H1c, a 1970 H1 Once owned by renowned American racer Rusty Bradley, a 1964 Meguro 250cc SG1 and finally a Z1r Turbo.

If you are interested in the museum or any of the other services that RB's offers, the phone number is at the top right of the page. Please remember though that access to the museum is by appointment only.
